Guess who’s back? Back again? Music videos!

Lately though they have been back with a vengeance thanks to YouTube’s Vevo as well as other Internet formats designed for music videos. If there is any way to prove something is worthy in the entertainment biz- it is with an award show. So on the heels of last nights 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Famous Frames would like to highlight the videos that storyboard artists Rudi Liden, Doug Brode and Michael Lee worked on.

Storyboard artist Michael Lee worked on the Best Female Video By Katy Perry and Juicy J, "Dark Horse."

Another Video that is earning attention and even won The “Cutest Audience Cutaway” Award Is this video with Art from Rudi Liden. Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora performed “Black Widow” at the event.

The “Cutest Cutaway” Refers to the camera cut to Charli XCX singing along to every word.
